Be very careful when IR for Temp readings. If the surface is at all shinny you will not get an accurate reading with out putting a piece of black tape on it. With the style of temp reader you have distance plays a big on what kind of reading you will get. I knew that Thermography class would come in usefull!

thanks for the info. yes i read it across the surface instead of at it so i can read the heat radiated and not the surface temp. it works well on coffee and your ear temp and makes for fun reading friends to see if they are HOT (female friends)
